National Bullying Prevention Month, October, has come and gone, but, at Browns Valley Elementary in Vacaville, the times have segued into mindfulness about the importance of kindness in our lives.

On Friday, Gary Xavier, a speaker for Think Kindness, a Reno, Nev.-based nonprofit that strives to inspire “measurable acts” of kindness, challenged the school’s 960 students to do two things by Nov. 15: Collect 1,500 pairs of shoes — all kinds — for needy people around the world; and, secondly, pledge to commit more than 9,000 random acts of kindness, noting them in a handwritten journal, one for each day, until they have reached a total of 10.
